                        Teen Misuse And Abuse Of Prescription Drugs Up 33 Percent Since 2008

                        Prescription drugs don’t hold the same stigma as illegal recreational drugs, even though they can be just as deadly, leading teens to regard them as a “safe” way to get high. In many cases there’s no difference between a recreational street drug and a prescription drug. For example, hydrocodone, a prescription opiate, is synthetic heroin. It’s indistinguishable from any other heroine as far as your brain and body is concerned. So, if you’re hooked on hydrocodone, you are in fact a good-old-fashioned heroin addict.

                          New Proposed Law Seeks to Vaccinate Puppies at Younger Age

                          Dr. Becker and Dr. Dodds Discuss the New California Bill that proposes to mandate rabies vaccines for puppies at a younger age (12 weeks). The language for the bill is based on false information.

                            Announcing New Transparency Bill to Disclose Vaccine Ingredients to Parents

                            Top Secret Ingredients: The majority of food has the ingredients listed to enable parents to know what they are feeding their children, as do most drugs. So, why are the ingredients of vaccinations not routinely disclosed?

                              The Herd Immunity Myth – Treating Our Children Like Cattle

                              So in actual fact, the vaccinated are the ones who carry the disease and risk infecting the unvaccinated, rather than the other way around.

                                Olive oil has been a mainstay of the Mediterranean diet for thousands of years and is well known as a heart healthy fat. A study published online in Neurology now suggests that consuming olive oil may also help prevent strokes in older people.

                                  FDA Presumes Itself Omniscient and Consumers Ignorant

                                  Do you think you are intelligent enough to decide for yourself the relative worth of scientific findings concerning the disease treatment and risk reduction effects of nutrients and foods? The FDA thinks you are not and that it must decide such questions for you in the first instance. Indeed, the FDA bans from the grocery store, the health food store, and online all commercial claims associating a food or nutrient with disease, regardless of whether the claims are supported by science. That broad prior restraint on speech contradicts the very premise of the First Amendment.

                                    Some are in a near panic over the idea of marijuana coming into the market with no federal oversight, publishing stories that seem designed to scare the public over the "dangers" of unregulated marijuana. Let's compare marijuana, which is by far the most consumed illegal drug in America, used by an estimated 9% of the population (approximately 23 million people), with drugs and food that are legal and regulated by the federal government.

                                      Let Food Be Your Cosmetic: Coconut Oil Outperforms Dangerous Petroleum Body Care Products

                                      You should never put on your body anything you can not, or would not eat. After many years of vast misrepresentation, coconut oil has gained wider acceptance not simply as a wholesome food, but as a medicinal agent capable of both nourishing and healing the body in ways that xenobiotic chemicals by their very nature can not.

                                        Former Pro-GMO Scientist Speaks Out On The Real Dangers of Genetically Engineered Food

                                        I retired 10 years ago after a long career as a research scientist for Agriculture Canada. When I was on the payroll, I was the designated scientist of my institute to address public groups and reassure them that genetically engineered crops and foods were safe. There is, however, a growing body of scientific research - done mostly in Europe, Russia, and other countries - showing that diets containing engineered corn or soya cause serious health problems in laboratory mice and rats.
